“…The most intuitive feeling from Figure 6b is that there was only one NULT left in 2018, which was Hunan. During 2007-2018, 19 regions experienced a change in relative development type. This variation can be divided into four types, with the largest to smallest percentages being NULT→SDT (42.11%), SDT→RRLT (36.84%), NULT→RRLT (15.79%), and RRLT→SDT (5.26%), and no type transferred to NULT.…”

“…Some scholars have quantitatively analyzed and visualized the results of sustainable urban and rural studies during 1900-2018 [18]. The shift in regional development strategies from an economic perspective to sustainable well-being was considered to be an important factor affecting urban-rural relations [19]. Similarly, the introduction of the value of ecosystem services in urban planning helped people rethink the urban-rural divide [20].…”

China’s long-standing urban-rural dichotomy has led to a widening gap between urban and rural areas, posing a huge challenge to the sustainable development of Chinese society. This paper adopted the subjective-objective weighting method, coupled coordination degree model, and geographically weighted regression model to conduct urban-rural sustainable development research on 31 provincial administrative regions in China and discussed their spatial-temporal divergence and driving mechanisms during 2007–2018. The results showed that (1) the quality of both rural revitalization and new urbanization improved during the study period, and the gap between them showed a trend of increasing after fluctuations. Both of them had significant spatial and temporal divergence characteristics. (2) The urban-rural coupling coordination degree in China continued to increase during the study period and showed an overall pattern of “high in the east-west and low in the north and southwest”. The changes of relative development type indicated that new urbanization had far surpassed rural revitalization during the study period. (3) The coefficients of driving factors varied significantly in space, showing a hierarchical band distribution. Seven of the eight driving factors showed a strong positive correlation in the vast majority of regions. The results and suggestions of this research can further promote the organic combination of rural revitalization and new urbanization strategy, which is of great practical significance for narrowing the urban-rural gap and realizing sustainable urban-rural development. Likewise, it can be a reference for other developing countries around the world.

“…Los Living Labs deben entenderse como plataformas en las que diferentes actores trabajan juntos en el desarrollo y prueba de nuevos instrumentos políticos, servicios, instrumentos de planificación y formas de organización. Pueden percibirse como una forma experimental de gobernanza (Knickel et al, 2021;Ovaska et al, 2021). En 11 Living Labs (Figura 1), 24 instituciones europeas trabajan juntos desde junio de 2017 hasta noviembre de 2021 en equipos nacionales, cada uno formado por un socio de investigación y un socio municipal, del ámbito prácticoadministrativo.…”

“…En muchas áreas rurales, se necesitan soluciones no convencionales debido a la despoblación y las condiciones socio-económicas. Al mismo tiempo, en otras áreas rurales la calidad de vida puede ser muy apreciada y las preocupaciones políticas están mucho más relacionadas con la preservación del entorno (Knickel et al, 2021). Es necesaria la colaboración entre los organismos públicos-locales, los actores privados, las ONG y la sociedad civil para implementar nuevas ideas y mejorar el desarrollo basado en el lugar (Esparcia, 2014;Kobzeva & Knickel, 2018).…”

Resumen: El éxito en la creación de sinergias rurales y urbanas para el desarrollo regional sostenible requiere de un enfoque integrado a nivel local y regional. Este artículo es una contribución al análisis de estas relaciones en el área funcional de Valencia, a partir del estudio de diferentes modelos de gobernanza como marco conceptual. Este enfoque deriva del proyecto H2020 ROBUST, en el que se analiza cómo avanzar en el desbloqueo de sinergias rural-urbanas a nivel local-regional, con especial atención a las capacidades de los gobiernos municipales y regionales, las administraciones relacionadas y otras partes interesadas para generar y mejorar las relaciones mutuamente beneficiosas. En el caso de estudio de la provincia de Valencia se han analizado diferentes tipos de estructuras de gobernanza, como el Consejo Alimentario de Valencia, los Pactos Territoriales por el Empleo y varios ejemplos de -en algunos casos, potenciales o teóricas- buenas prácticas, tales como el taxi rural, los cajeros automáticos o las redes culturales. Los acuerdos de gobernanza analizados enfatizan el compromiso del gobierno regional para activar mecanismos de gobernanza multinivel, así como la cooperación público-privada a nivel regional (más allá, por tanto, de los límites provinciales). La metodología aplicada puede ayudar a identificar nuevas medidas y acciones adecuadas para mejorar y crear nuevos modelos de gobernanza en las relaciones rurales y urbanas. Palabras clave: Living Lab, sinergias rural-urbanas, gobernanza, área funcional de Valencia. Abstract: The successful creation of rural-urban synergies for sustainable regional development requires an integrated approach at local and regional level. This article is a contribution to the analysis of these relationships in the functional area of Valencia, based on the study of different governance models as a conceptual framework. This approach derives from the H2020 ROBUST project, which analyses how to advance in unlocking rural-urban synergies at the local-regional level, with special attention to the capacities of municipal and regional governments, related administrations and other stakeholders to generate and enhance mutually beneficial relationships. In the case study of the province of Valencia, different types of governance structures have been analysed, such as the Valencia Food Council, the Territorial Pacts for Employment and several examples of - in some cases, potential or theoretical - good practices, such as rural taxis, ATMs or cultural networks. The governance arrangements analysed emphasise the commitment of the regional government to activate multilevel governance mechanisms, as well as public-private cooperation at regional level (thus beyond provincial boundaries). The applied methodology can help to identify further measures and actions suitable for improving and creating new governance models in rural-urban relations Key words: Living Lab, rural-urban synergies, governance, functional area of Valencia.

“…To that end, the coherent and collective organization of endangered landrace protection and valorization can contribute to the creation of landrace-based localized agri-food systems and the enhancement of their competitiveness as well as a multifunctional role in the environment and for human well-being [15,[32][33][34][35][36]. Accordingly, important changes are required at the governance level, through the involvement of both public and private stakeholders.…”

Agrobiodiversity-Oriented Food Systems between Public Policies and Private Action: A Socio-Ecological Model for Sustainable Territorial Development

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The international and European literature and institutional contexts are fostering agrobiodiversity as the foundation of a new paradigm for localized agri-food system development and sustainability. Accordingly, new systemic and holistic theoretical approaches and conceptual models are needed. This paper aims to identify and apply a new conceptual framework contributing to the understanding of how the restoring and valorization of underutilized or neglected landraces can act as a trigger for sustainable territorial development. A new holistic model was designed for the characterization and analysis of agrobiodiversity-oriented food systems. We consider the model innovative in enhancing the conceptualization of the adoption of a socio-ecological systems approach. We applied the model to a representative case study involving the localized agri-food system of the Valtiberina Red Onion, a threatened plant landrace cultivated in Tuscany, Italy. A participatory action–research approach was followed, involving both public and private stakeholders. As the main outcome of the paper, we demonstrated the capability of our new SES model by identifying and describing the assets, drivers, human action processes and generated beneficial effects concerning the development and reproduction of landrace-based quality valorization virtuous circles. Our research findings highlighted the model as an innovative tool for the analysis of agrobiodiversity-oriented food systems sustainability. Significantly, the model was designed to identify the combined role of public policy and private action in supporting the implementation of coherent management mechanisms and effective governance settings.
